Yesterday afternoon, I took a chance and went to the CP yard in London, to behold at the west end of the yard, 2 of the new SD70M's with the flared radiators. East end of the yard, 4 more SD70M's 3 standard ones and one more with flares, I'll scan up the pics after the film is used up tomorrow Jon ------------------ J.E.

Thanks Jon, I look forward to seeing a picture of the new flared radiators. I have read about them on various discussion boards. I assume they are similar to the SD90's? ------------------ Alan Curtis. Moderator.

What is the reason for the flared radiators? Extra cooling usually equals extra horsepower. Photos posted on Trainorders.com Eastern Discussion @ 6:50 EST. ------------------ Cotton Belt: Runs like a Blue Streak
